Description

It’s been a real honor to work on this trip. A solo woman traveler was looking for a deep dive into Namibia’s iconic destinations, and she wanted to experience the vast landscapes on foot and by driving some of the segments herself.

We explored a number of options, weaving our way through limited availability, and we ended up combining a small group departure that takes in the highlights with a self-drive extension through Namibia’s southern circuit.
